Thanks for all of the good wishes! I am getting nervous about tomorrow - not nervous in a bad way but nervous in that I can't wait to get this done!! The nurse I talked to this afternoon told me to get a good night's sleep and I was thinking "not very likely". LOL

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of ur prayers and support, everything went great and I'm finally banded! Right now I'm feeling fine, still in the hospital until tomorrow afternoon. After surgery I was a lil queezy from the meds but not really any pain at all....only had one dose of pain meds since recovery. Glad its over but I really worried myself for no reason at all! I will post more when I get out of here, saying lots of prayers for all of u!

Why did they end up keeping you? i thought it was in and out in one day??? the queesy part is what i worry about, i remember when i had my gall bladder out years ago and i threw up non stop and was sooo sick, pain didn t bother me but being sick to my stomach did...Im glad all went well

Thanks! My doc keeps everyone in the hopsital for one night so I will be out later this morning. I think I would have been fine to go home yesterday tho. The queeziness I felt right after surgery and they gave me meds for that and have felt fine since.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
